Every time a
new Until book comes out, I can't wait to get my grabby hands on it. Since I
first picked up Until November, I have been obsessed with the entire Mayson family,
and I am absolutely dreading the end of this amazing family. Aurora Rose
Reynolds has been an automatic one click author since that first book.
Bax was
everything that we can expect from a Mayson man. His past is less than
desirable, but from the second he lays eyes on Olivia the “boom” hits and he is
the perfect over the top, possessive alpha. And of course, for Olivia that
means nothing but trouble without her even realising.
Of course we
got a beautiful, caring, sweet, strong woman who has absolutely no idea of all
that is about to befall her. The good and the bad, but I was there for every
word of it and I didn't want to leave for a second. And now I go back to
impatiently waiting for the next one.
From USA
Today and #1 Amazon Bestselling Author Bella Matthews comes a Single Mom,
Marriage Of Convenience, Hockey Romance.
You’d
think a romance author would know better than to fall for her fake husband.
It’s the oldest trope in the book . . . literally. But it turns out writing it
and living it are two very different things.
The plan was
enticing—marry hockey’s hottest player so I could receive my inheritance and
give my daughters the life they deserve. I’m already a single mom at
twenty-five—how hard could it be?
Well . . .
the answer is harder than you think because Leo Sinclair is so much more than I
bargained for. Six foot, four inches of toned muscle and golden skin wrapped
around the most perfectly chiseled jaw and dangerously charming smile. I knew
he’d be hard to resist . . . but it’s not just his looks that weaken my
resolve.
It’s the way
he wins over my daughters with ease.
The way he
sees through my defenses and quiets my fears.
The way he
says “my wife” like he means it.
Suddenly,
this arrangement doesn’t feel so fake. And I’m no longer sure which of us is
playing pretend.
But when
love wasn’t part of the deal, will saying “I do” turn out to be his biggest
regret—or mine?

I am so
obsessed with Bella Matthews books it's bordering on a problem. The minute I
could I stuck off to read a chapter or two before bed. Cue the book hitting me
in the face around the 50% mark because I can't bring myself to put it down.
Then I'm having to adult all day before I finally get to finish it. And now I'm
miserable because I've finished it and have to wait for the next one.
I really
love the whole marriage of convenience trope, and a single parent is just
icing. Add in the fact this is part of a large sporting family dynamic and I
really couldn't ask for more. There are so many amazing secondary characters
and the very much loved first generation I really am in my happy place every
time I pick one of these books up.
Addie and
Leo were sizzling hot. And although their relationship progressed quickly it
felt really natural and organic. The way Leo instantly took to Izzy and Lennox
and loved them like his own had my ovaries exploding every time he loved on
them. Then we got the whole growly, possessive “my wife” and sign me up for one
please.
The book had
all the spice, sweetness, romance and drama that I want to stay wrapped up in
all things Kroydon Hills. So, I guess I'll just go back to not so patiently
waiting for the next one.
Picking up
this book was 110% a no brainer. I can't get enough of Sarina Bowen, but to get
a true north novella is just the cherry on top. I will admit to a little bit of
disappointment when I realised that the of the 3 stories in this edition only 1
was new. But I got over it as soon as I picked it up because omg we get more
true north.
This is the
first time in years that I've read a story in third person, and I thought I
might struggle with that. But by the second page I was too busy asking what are
you going to do next Damien? And being completely smitten by both him and
Nicolette.
The passing
of years had me a little impatient and I can completely see why this book is
called crossroads with the number of times these guys paths crossed. I was
dying for each meeting to be the time all that insane chemistry came to a head.
And then it would pass, and I'd deflate a little. I literally felt like I was
holding my breath for half the book, and I didn't want to put it down. Luckily
it was a novella.
When they
finally got on the same pages it was sweet and cute and so perfect. Followed by
hot as hell. My only complaint is that it was a novella, and I want so much
more. More of his family, more of them together, more of her family falling off
a cliff and a certain someone being hit by a bus. But that's always how I feel
when I put down a Sarina Bowen novel so now, I just have to wait for her next
book.
This book was exactly what I needed. While also
being exactly what I wasn’t expecting when I picked it up. The first book in
the series was set in college and I assumed this one would be too. But once I
picked it up, I didn’t care at all that it wasn’t set in college because I was
so busy falling for these characters and waiting for the drama bombs to start
dropping.
From the first page I was in and needing to know
exactly what had happened to get Vi to that point. Then we jump to the first
chapter and Declan was beyond perfect, and an idiot, at the same time, but in
all the right ways and for all the right reasons and I just couldn’t get enough
of him. Their relationship happened so organically and realistically and just
smoothly but with so many little strings left dangling that I couldn’t put it
down. I had so many theories of how things were going to be revealed and what
was going to be the fallout of each revelation.
We got the perfect amount of the OG characters and
a great introduction to some new characters. But I was so busy obsessing over
Vi and Declan and how perfectly they handled everything involving Tucker. I had
all the feels while reading this, but the main one was just pure swoon over
Declan. I am off to add the next one to my kindle. Toodles

Meet Natasha Madison:
When her
nose isn’t buried in a book, or her fingers flying across a keyboard writing,
she’s in the kitchen creating gourmet meals. You can find her, in four inch
heels no less, in the car chauffeuring kids, or possibly with her husband
scheduling his business trips. It’s a good thing her characters do what she
says, because even her Labrador doesn’t listen to her…

I put off
reading this because after I read the blurb, I knew I was going to feel all the
feels and I seriously don't have time to cry randomly. Then I woke up feeling
lazy and thought I'd read a little bit before I got up. And now it's the
afternoon and I've just put it down.
Yeah I felt
all the feels and I cried and I got mad and I hated people, only to fall hard
for them later. And when I realised that Charlie was a Barnes, I nearly lost my
mind. I am obsessed with Natasha Madison's large families and how beautifully
interwoven all their stories are. So, whenever they pop up it's like a little
Easter egg I can't help but savour.
From the
start my heart broke for Autumn. And seeing Charlie take out his pain on her I
wanted to watch him burn. But damn once he got his head out of his arse he gave
great grovel and amazing boyfriend. And I loved that Autumn fought so hard to
turn everything around, even if she never should have had to.
The whole
book had me flipping pages like a fiend and I couldn't stand having to put it
down to adult. There were a few things I would have liked different, but that's
just me. I want vengeance to be bloody and painful. I also would kill for an
epilogue of the future but again I'm just greedy. I can't wait for Brady’s book
next. And fingers crossed we will see more of these guys in the future in that
anyway so win win win.
I stumbled upon this Facebook group for obsessed
alphas and wondered why it took Facebook this long to put us together. Then I
kept seeing all these books and I'll be honest, a lot of them are outside my
normal genres. I love OTT, obsessed alphas, but I'm not huge on mafia or MC or
anything too dark. And sadly, those were a lot of the recommendations.
Then this book was recommended and the review I
read had me adding it to my TBR, not really thinking I'd be reading it any time
soon. Until I saw that it had released, and I read the blurb again and one
clicked it on KU. I picked it up read the first two pages, didn't get a great
vibe, got distracted by children and left it forgotten. Fast forward a few days
and I picked up my kindle, figured I would read a bit more …….. and never put
it down again.
So initially, Alex wasn't my type of hero. He was
into a lot of things I can do without, and I was expecting the typical man
whore scenes from the author to prove how bad he was. Then we met Olivia. And
Alex was my kind of crazy. He was so instantly all in and there was so many
twists and turns and secondary characters I was as completely in as he was.
The only surprise bigger than how much I enjoyed
this crazy, wild ride is the fact this is only the authors second book. Because
you know as soon as I put this down, I went to see what I was adding to my TBR
from the author. So, I guess for now I just have to keep my eyes open for the
next one.

BLURB
My
football player ex cheated on me, so the last thing I need is to fall for
another quarterback. Especially when he’s still mourning his baby mama who
tragically passed away.
After I
accidentally plow my car into Nick Silva’s bumper, I can’t blame him for not
hiring me to be his daughter’s nanny, but I’m still salty about it. I need the
money to go on a trip of a lifetime, one my ex didn’t want me to take.
The worst
part is Nick just moved in next door.
I’m sure he
associates me with my dirtbag ex—his former teammate—so I try to avoid my
neighbor whenever possible.
But when his
new babysitter gets locked out of the house, leaving Nick’s four-year-old alone
inside, I attempt to rescue her by breaking in through a window.
Unfortunately,
I have a wardrobe malfunction and end up flashing my goodies to the whole
neighborhood, Nick included.
Because of
my embarrassing heroics, Nick’s now convinced I’d be a great nanny.
The trouble
with football players is they’re very persuasive, so I agree to take the job
but immediately regret it.
Who needs to
see a gorgeous, shirtless man jumping rope and doing push-ups in gray
sweatpants? Who wants to watch a sexy, single dad snuggle his little girl and
read her bedtime stories? Who enjoys working closely with a walking, talking
thirst trap every single day?
Fine. I do.
I want all of that, but I already swore I’d never date another jock after the
last one stomped all over my heart, so this bookworm needs to play it safe.
But rumor
has it Nick has a new girlfriend, which helps me maintain appropriate
boundaries.
Because I
won’t be blindsided by another quarterback again.
Blindside
Beauty is an
angsty nanny romance featuring an adorkable, accident-prone bookworm and a
struggling, grumpy single dad. If you enjoy close proximity, enemies-to-lovers
vibes, opposites attract, small towns, and college football, you’ll love this
steamy final addition to the USA Today bestselling series Varsity Dads.

I can't
believe this is the end of the series. I'm going to miss all of these guys so much,
although I'm very excited to see that we are going to get some of them in the
upcoming series.
I wasn't
really sure how this book was going to go, with Abby being so fresh off the
whole Ezra drama. And Nick being who he was in that whole situation. And there
is always something about the whole dead ex that rubs me the wrong way.
Especially when there are children involved. Hazel was so cute and age
appropriate, I couldn’t get enough of her.
Abby was
such a sweetheart, and she had already been through the wringer I really didn't
know if Nick was going to be the best match for her. But of course, I should
have had more faith in the author because Nick ended up being an amazing
boyfriend.
I did have
moments where I wanted to shake him and scream at Abby to run. But then I kind
of understood where he was coming from and Abby was so understanding and
patient. And Nick came through with some great grovelling and made me
fall for him even more.
This book
was so sweet and had so much great chemistry I really struggled to put it down
to adult. Especially knowing that this was the end of the series. Hopefully the
next series is here sooner than later because I am already feeling the
withdrawals kick in.
Honestly, I
don’t think Sarina Bowen could write anything that wasn’t amazing. I don’t even
know how to put into words how truly perfect her characters are in the most
genuine, real, warts and all kinds of ways. From the moment a new book is
announced I just know I am going to live in it from the first page to the very
last word. Because she has built the most amazing small town, with the most
beautiful hearted people who are all sort of interconnected but not so much
that it doesn’t feel authentic. It all just feels like she is sitting in the
middle of a small-town cafe and writing the tales of all the people that live
there and I am completely here for it.
Nash and
Livia were no different and yet were so unique in their own personalities and
problems and life dramas. I couldn’t get enough of the chemistry between them,
and I love that they had this random little initial meeting that set the match
for the inevitable explosion between them. The story was so sweet and there
were so many things that needed to be resolved and the chemistry was so hot I
jumped my poor husband on his way passed.
I really
loved the book and it all flowed so naturally but with so much happening that
all felt so believable I never wanted to put it down. The Giltmaker’s are
definitely a family that I can relate to in their dysfunction and love. I’m so
glad that Livia gets to have that because she seriously deserved it by the end
of this book. And I really can’t wait to get the next book (come on Poppy and
Mitch) no matter who it is. Even better if it’s more bruisers. But seriously I
am ready to read an instructional manual if Sarina writes it.
He’s
the hot, tattooed bad boy that I traded insults with...and now he wants my
help?
Knox
Holland is in a jam. After an incredible first year on the pro motocross
circuit, he should be on top of the world. Instead, his bad reputation has
landed him without a team. He’s untouchable and desperate to turn it around.
Which
is how he ends up at my gym asking me to train him. As a college gymnast with
two Olympic medals to my name, I know a thing or two about the pressure to
succeed. Last season I choked and then injured myself before I could show the
world that I’m not a twenty-year-old has-been.
Focused
on the future, I can’t afford to get distracted. But I recognize the
desperation in Knox’s eyes, and I can’t say no to him, either.
It
should have been an easy task, but nothing about Knox is easy. One minute we’re
arguing, and the next I’m enjoying his shirtless handstands a little too much.
Falling
for him would be a mistake…
Burnout
is a sports romance with a cocky bad boy, spice, banter, and a happily ever
after.

Some days I feel like my brain hates me. Aside from
having the worst memory, I also have this issue where I have an aversion to
picking up certain books. Not for any reason. And then I remember how much I
love the authors writing and how excited I was when I first saw the release
info. Only to start reading it and not being able to put it down.
Avery and Knox were fire from their first interaction,
and I feel like I fell right along with them. Then as I got a little further in
the book, I had to go check out Goodreads because I knew all these side
characters, but I didn't think this was part of a series. Just to put together
that Knox is Hendrick’s brother from a previous unrelated book and yes, I am
already madly in love with most of these side characters and I remembered Knox
and how amazing he is.
Avery, I loved from the first page of this book.
Knox couldn't open his mouth without putting his foot in it. Luckily, the chip
on his shoulder started to crumble and we got to see the real man under the ego,
and he was perfect. The relationship was so natural and progressed perfectly. I
couldn't get enough of them and I'm even more excited to see that the other
brothers are going to be getting their own stories soon.
